@NYCMom2Be2011 That's the only thing I can stomach too.. Regular water tastes like pool water to me and doesnt stay in :( the lime flavored one is pretty good. Target has the six pack of them for $2.99. They have other flavors too :)

@NYCMom2Be2011 I haven't read anything about seltzer affecting the baby. I've been drinking lots of sparkling water (lemon flavored for me). Never liked it much before! Even thinking about getting one of those soda stream machines, but don't know if I'll like it or not. Does anyone have one?

@jules916 I have a Soda Stream machine and love it!! We have had it for like 2 years and use it almost every day. We even use the sparkling water to cut DS juice or just give him sparkling water and he thinks it's juice. If you like sparkling water I would absolutely recommend buying one.

I recently found out that Perrier makes Grapefruit flavoured sparkling water - its great! Just a slight taste so great if you are bored of plain or lemon flavoured.

@NYCMom2Be2011 I read in some baby book or other that carbonated drinks can raise your risk of UTis, which in turn can raise your risk of preterm labor.

Based on that, I gave up seltzer, which I love, and I have an adorable Soda Stream.

Recently, I'm rethinking that decision. I love seltzer, and I only read it in that one place, and I've done a lot of reading!

I think I'll be going back to it soon, and I'll give it up again if and when there's any sign of an impending UTI.

@ABabyGrowsinBrooklyn seltzer is pretty much the only carbonated drink I can stomach. I love it. Especially when its almost frozen!
